Test Dates
Use this study guide to help you prepare for your test.
See how much you can finish without using your
notes. Then go back and complete the rest with your
notes. Be sure to look through ALL of your notes at
least once. This study guide should not be the only
tool you use to study.

6. Examine each picture of a partial graduated cylinder and determine the volume in
Ending
Volume
mL.
7. When reading a graduated cylinder, you always read the curved line. What is this curved line called?
8. What is the density of water? __________ g/mL
9. How can you tell if something will sink or float in water without actually placing the object in water?
10. Jordan wanted to know the density of her small toy horse. What equation will Jordan need to use to
figure out the density of the toy horse?
a. Jordan’s data is in the table to the right. Use the equation you listed in
number eight to determine the density of Jordan’s toy. You may use a
calculator but PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK BELOW!!!
What is the density of the toy horse?
______________ g/mL
b. Because you didn’t see Jordan drop the horse in water you don’t know if the horse sank in the
water or if it was floating. Based on the density you calculated would this toy horse sink or float in
water? Circle the correct choice below:
Circle One
Sink
Float
11. Let’s calculate density one more time. Use the data in the table below to calculate the density of a piece
of Stride gum.
a. Use the equation you listed in number eight to determine the
density of the gum. You may use a calculator but PLEASE
SHOW YOUR WORK BELOW!!!
What is the density of the gum?
______________ g/mL
b. Based on the density, would this piece of gum sink or float in water? Circle the correct choice
below:
Circle One
Sink
Float
